DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information in living organisms.

Back

Genetic information carrier.

Front

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Back

Process of DNA to RNA conversion.

Front

Translation is the process where ribosomes create proteins using mRNA.

Back

Ribosomes synthesize proteins from mRNA.

Front

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Messenger RNA function.

Front

Ribosomes are the cellular structures where proteins are synthesized.

Back

Site of protein synthesis.

Front

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Back

Transfer RNA function.

Front

The genetic code is a set of rules by which information encoded in mRNA is translated into proteins.

Back

Rules for mRNA to protein translation.

Front

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Back

Three-nucleotide sequence for amino acids.

Front

The start codon is the first codon of a messenger RNA transcript translated by a ribosome.

Back

Initiation codon for translation.

Front

Stop codons signal the end of protein synthesis.

Back

Termination signals in translation.
